Yeah, it makes sense to keep those together, but we can move them both
down to after the uncharge, right?

Ah, okay. That's a reasonable change, it's just confusing because I
thought this was a requirement for the new code to work. But I didn't
see how it relied on that, and it made me think I'm not understanding
your code ;) It's better to split that into a separate patch.
